   Really enjoyed the oysters! Had a variety of fresh oysters from around the region, also baked and fried, they were all amazing and the salad was delicious! Service was great, cocktails fabulous, and historic Petaluma Hotel is a beautiful location. We will be back soon!

   The Shuckery is one of my favorite places to eat, talk and enjoy the atmosphere. Our waiter Mac was awesome and everyone else that works there was helpful and thoughtful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   We finally visited The Shuckery and were warmly greeted by the bubbly host. Arriving 20 minutes early, we were seated promptly. Our cocktails were delightful, and the local bread basket with its olive oil dip was a standout. The fresh oysters and citrusy Caesar salad impressed us, as did the generous ahi poke bowl. While the braised short ribs were flavorful, they lacked the expected tenderness. A request for hot sauce led to a pleasantly fiery surprise, appreciated by both of us. The ambiance was lovely, but service felt slightly inconsistent. Our server tended to neighboring tables more frequently, leaving us waiting to order additional drinks and food. The food runners were more attentive, and we ended up interacting with them more than our actual server. Despite this, they ensured we had what we needed. We concluded our evening with drinks by the hotel lobby fireplace, a perfect end to a rainy night. We’re eager to return and explore more seafood offerings, especially the tinned fish and catch of the day.

   We LOVE the Shuckery and go at least once a month. The Film Noir cocktail is the best. We had the short ribs dinner last night that we were not thrilled with but the salads are always very good. I think its best just to stick to fish dishes.

   Went for happy hour and it was early (3:30 pm) and not busy. Oysters were fresh and excellent and even though we got brought the wrong menu item, it was a delicious accidental substitution and we accepted it as something the universe intended. Very happy and we will always go back for happy hour.

   It was overall a positive experience. Went there with a guest from Boston and we both enjoyed it. The oysters were excellent as was the whole fish. We totally devoured. We definitely will go there again.

    We always come here for happy hour, it’s always a great time! We always get the two buck shuck and the cocktail spread of crab and shrimp!  I will say they’re cocktails are okay, doesn’t taste as fresh as some other cocktails I’ve had but we enjoy it!
